The evolution of ikebana has resulted in a rich variety of co-existing, aesthetic approachesor "schools". Some Ikebana schools retain a classical approach to design, reminiscent ofIkebana's origins as Buddhist altar arrangements, some have a more relaxed and naturalisticstyle, while others are very unconventional. There are hundreds of different schools.

Hana Chapter of Belgium is an enthousiastic group of people who organise every yearseveral activities including workshops and demonstrations of different Ikebana schools. Three times a year members receive a colourful booklet from Japan (in English).
